Our present-day version of Santa Claus is based on folklore traditions surrounding Saint Nicholas, a real-life Christian bishop in what modern-day country?
Turkey. Active in the fourth century, St. Nicholas’ existence was not officially recorded, so nothing certain is known of his life except that he was probably bishop of Myra in the 4th century. His reputation for generosity became legendary, as well as stories of miracles he performed. St. Nicholas’ lore persisted in Holland as Sinterklaas (a Dutch variant of the name St. Nicholas), which gave rise to our current version of a gift-giving “Saint Nick” or Santa Claus.
